Back to Girona!

Back in 2022 I went to Girona on an ATA short-term teacher exchange. I absolutely loved it. Today, Darren and I took the train from Barcelona to spend our last day in the Iberian peninsula in Girona. We were able to take the regional train from a station very close to our hotel. Our first stop in Girona was for churros and hot chocolate. I had been to this exact place four years ago. The hot chocolate is amazing and apparently this recipe has been in the family for generations. After a little hot chocolate (or a lot!), we went on to explore the city. My favourite part was going up to the old city walls and walking around them. The views were amazing.

After our exploration of the old town, we decided to walk over to the school I did my exchange at. It was a bit of a walk but we enjoyed looking at the newer part of the city. Then it was back to the train station to head back to Barcelona. We had our last dinner at Tapa Tapa (a favourite) and then back to the room for some final packing.

It has been an amazing trip! I am looking forward to going home to my creature comforts and seeing family. Portugal and Spain did not disappoint!
